The first place team from St. Paul Central High School received a school trophy and individual medals; that team's members will get an all-expense paid trip to Washington, D.C. to participate in the National Science Bowl. The second and third place teams, Team 1 from Stillwater Area High School and Roseville High School, received individual medals.
